The view from the top of Mount Wellington in Tasmania looks out over Hobart and surrounds, and on a clear day, the view is amazing! This day was not a clear one. Mostly it was a total white-out, but now and then we would get lucky and get a passing glimpse as the clouds ever so briefly parted! This couple were enjoying the view and I was hoping for a more candid shot of them looking out, but they turned to the camera as I fired the shot as I was using the big medium format 3D World syereo camera for the shot. It was always generating a lot of interest and was a great conversation starter.
This is just a 2D scan, but the original 3D stereo image was quite effective with the sense of actually standing on the rocks and the view stretching out into the distance.
The weather at the top here can get pretty wild and extreme. I recall one visit where it was more than a little windy. As I got out of the car, I was for the first time in my life, blown over flat on my back by the wind. Needless to say, I got straight back in the car and headed back down the mountain. They closed the road shortly after I got down, and I later found they had recorded 80 mph (130 km/h) gusts!
Original colour slide was taken between 2007 and 2009 with a 3D World medium format stereo film camera using Fuji Provia 100F colour slide film. Scanned with a Canon R10 with RF24-240mm lens and Nisi close up attachment.
Perhaps a little too much on the "artsy" side. This is two images merged-a long exposure (25 sec) for the water and a shorter exposure to save some detail from the boat. Then just for good measure I added just a touch of a watercolor effect.
I was recently inspired by a photo taken by Luke Hertzfeld earlier this winter of the Marblehead Lighthouse on Lake Erie at sunrise. So I got up at 3:30 AM this morning and drove 2.5 hours down to Marblehead. Man was it cold and windy, however I was rewarded with a beautiful sunrise.
Thanks Luke for the inspiration.

Royal Border Bridge spans the River Tweed between Berwick-upon-Tweed and Tweedmouth in Northumberland, England. It is a Grade I listed railway viaduct built between 1847 and 1850, when it was opened by Queen Victoria. The engineer and Architect who designed it was Robert Stephenson (son of George Stephenson). It was built for the York, Newcastle and Berwick Railway and is still in regular use today, as part of the East Coast Main Line. Despite its name, the bridge does not in fact span the border between England and Scotland, which is approximately three miles further north.

The Hurlers stone circle near Minions on Bodmin Moor.
I didn't realise until researching for this posting that there are actually three circles in the grouping - each with 29 stones (or markers for those stones missing). I think this frame shows the northern-most circle given the position of the ruined, South Phoenix Mine engine house in the background.
Apparently the stones forming the circles are so named for a group of folk engaged in a game of Hurling on a Sunday whereupon the wrath of a vengeful god turned them to stone. Possibly a bit harsh...
Nonetheless the circles date from the early Bronze Age and form a significant part of the landscape along with barrows, hill forts, tors and mine workings.

To get the separation between the foreground stone and the background I used a 10 Stop ND filter to allow me to shoot wide open in broad daylight.
